Statement from Ward 2 Democrats Regarding Recent DC Dems Mailer

On Wednesday, we were made aware of a mailer sent out by the DC Democratic Party which used the name our organization and leadership without our knowledge. While we respect that the DC Dems voted in opposition to Initiative 83, as a local organization Ward 2 Democrats has not taken an official position, as implied by the mailer.

Ward 2 has many residents on both sides of I83 and we as individuals reserve the right to speak publicly about the issue, while DC Dems reserves their right to speak as an organization.

Ward 2 Dems focus remains helping elect Democrats at all levels of government in the District and across the country. We call on all eligible District residents to register, vote and support the Democratic ticket this November.
